My 2008 GS460
I have Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position S-04 and the tires start slipping at 1500 rpm with the brake pedal fully depressed. I know my rear rotors needs to be changed (has small ridges) so maybe that's why?

I think I saw you mention either here or FB that you do launches at 2k RPM? IS that on a prepped track?

it might be a combination of tires and rotors, because the brakes have to withstand the drivetrain when launching like this.

Yes I can't wait for the JoeZ X Borla combo, should sound amazing! Yes, along with a competent friend with access to a lift.

Another question. I ordered 18 x 9 +35 ssr gtv01 wheels and 265 40 tires. I am wanting to lose an inch of fender gap. I'm not on Facebook and all the posts about this topic are pretty old. Besides coilovers, do you know of the best way to achieve this? Lowering springs are the only way but I was wondering if you know of anyone that has done this fairly recently with little aftereffects.

As for springs or coilovers, both could help with fitment, as could spacers.

Thanks man. I was kinda worried about the fronts rubbing. No rubbing. Chrome delete is next. Having it wrapped. The paint on the rear wing is starting to fade. Going to have it wrapped with carbon fiber vinyl. Either matt black or semi gloss black everywhere else. A place in Nashville will mount the headers for around 1200, unless they strip out some head bolts. Will have to pay for labor if so. A guy I work with has a lift and has mounted headers on his rousch and gt 500 mustangs. The process is very similar. I'm trying to talk him into doing it. As for tune, who the hell knows.
